Dear Editor:
I would like to second the comments of Debra Dunne in the Sunday, March 1 edition of the North Shore News regarding the supposed “bad blood” between hikers and bikers.
I have hiked the North Shore trails extensively over the last 10 years while researching and writing summer hiking columns for the North Shore News, followed by two editions of my hiking book; I have never had a negative encounter with mountain bikers.
I generally enjoy Trevor Lautens’ columns, but I think in this instance he has overreacted; common courtesy and common sense usually prevail on the trails.
